NOTE  TO   SECOND  EDITION. 


As  there  seems  to  have  been  a  misunderstanding  in  some  quarters  regarding 
the  employment  of  brackets  in  authors'  names  in  this  volume,  it  may  be  well 
to  explain  here  that  in  names  of  men  the  portions  within  brackets  have  been 
dropped  from  the  owner's  signature  ;  in  names  of  women  the  bracketed  portions 
indicate  the  maiden  name,  and,  in  case  of  a  second  marriage,  the  first  married 
name.  In  this  second  edition  the  writer  has  corrected  such  errors  and  misprints 
as  he  or  others  have  discovered,  has  inserted  the  dates  of  many  deaths  which 
have  occurred  since  the  printing  of  the  first  edition,  and  has  extended  the 
addenda  by  more  than  two  hundred  names.  That  his  work  is  still  imperfect  he 
is  fully  aware,  but  he  trusts  that  credit  will  be  given  him  for  having  put  forth 
all  reasonable  effort  to  make  it  of  service  to  those  who  have  occasion  to  consult 
its  pages.

PREFACE. 


The  present  volume  is  an  outgrowth  of  the  writer's  "  Handbook  of  American 
Authors,"  first  published  in  1884,  several  features  which  the  judgment  of  the 
public  approved  in  the  earlier  work  having  been  retained  in  this.  Without 
pretending  to  contain  an  exhaustive  list  of  American  writers,  it  may  neverthe- 
less lay  claim  to  be  fairly  inclusive,  as  the  more  than  six  thousand  names  herein 
mentioned  will  serve  to  show.  A  few  names  that  might  naturally  be  looked 
for  here  have  been  omitted  at  the  request  of  their  owners ;  while  some  others 
have  not  been  included,  for  the  reason  that  diligent  search  failed  to  discover 
any  trustworthy  data  concerning  them.  Here  and  there,  too,  the  reader  may 
chance  upon  unfilled  dates  of  birth,  or  initials  unexpanded.  Yet  in  the  ma- 
jority of  such  cases  application  by  letter  made  directly  to  the  owners  of  the 
names  aforesaid,  or  to  relatives  and  immediate  friends  of  such  persons,  has 
failed  to  elicit  any  response.  All  reasonable  effort  has  been  made  to  obtain 
trustworthy  information  upon  such  points,  but  failure  to  obtain  replies  to  let- 
ters of  inquiry  must  account  for  the  greater  number  of  such  omissions  ;  and 
here  it  may  not  be  out  of  place  to  mention  that  information  of  more  general 
character  obtained  from  private  sources  has  now  and  then  been  received  too 
late  to  be  of  service,  owing  to  the  fact  that  the  work  was  already  electrotyped 
before  it  came  to  hand. 

In  a  comprehensive  work  like  this,  including  so  large  a  number  of  names 
and  so  many  thousand  dates,  errors  must  of  necessity  occur,  and  the  author 
cannot  hope  to  escape  adverse  criticism  in  this  respect.  While  absolute  accu- 
racy would  have  been  impossible  to  attaiu,  he  has  nevertheless  taken  no  little 
pains  to  approach  this  ideal  ;  and  to  this  end,  besides  resorting  to  the  ordinary 
means  of  information,  he  has  consulted  hundreds  of  catalogues  of  libraries, 
colleges,  and  publishers,  as  well  as  denominational  year-books,  and  in  number- 
less instances  has  availed  himself  of  trustworthy  information  received  directly 
from  private  sources.  It  thus  happens  that  in  certain  cases  dates  given  in  this 
volume  differ  from  those  in  other  works  of  reference,  and  where  this  occurs 
the  reason  for  the  adoption  of  a  different  date  herein  is  supported  by  excellent 
authority. 

It  has  been  thought  advisable  to  retain  the  "  u  "  in  the  spelling  of  such  words 
as  "colour,"  "favour,"  and  the  like,  the  exceptions  to  this  occurring  in  titles 
where  the  spelling  of  the  original  has  been  followed.     In  connection  with  this 


▼i  PREFACE 

it  may  not  be  amiss  to  note  that  the  original  spelling  of  titles  has  been  very 
commonly  though  not  invariably  retained.  To  have  done  this  in  every  instance, 
however,  woidd  have  entailed  more  labour  than  it  was  desirable  to  incur. 

For  several  reasons  the  author  has  thought  best  in  his  classification  of  cer- 
tain authors  to  discriminate  between  poets  and  verse-writers.  To  apply  the 
name  of  poet  to  each  and  every  writer  of  verse  would  have  been  manifestly 
unjust.  The  poets  of  a  generation  are  not  numerous,  but  the  verse-writers 
are  very  many.  If  the  term  "  poet "  be  loosely  applied  it  loses  its  signification, 
while  to  deny  that  name  to  many  a  writer  of  excellent  verse  is  to  do  him  no 
injustice,  but  rather  a  service,  as  it  is  no  disparagement  to  a  private  soldier  not 
to  be  addressed  as  colonel. 

To  the  many  persons  who  have  so  cordially  responded  to  his  letters  of  in- 
quiry, and  whom  he  may  not  thank  by  name,  the  writer  desires  in  this  place  to 
express  his  acknowledgments.  To  Mr.  Arthur  Mason  Knapp,  the  superintend- 
ent of  the  Bates  Hall  department  of  the  Boston  Public  Librai-y,  he  has  been 
indebted  for  very  much  in  the  way  of  help  and  suggestion  from  the  time  the 
work  was  begun,  and  to  other  officials  of  that  department  he  is  under  obli- 
gations likewise.  He  also  gratefully  acknowledges  much  timely  assistance 
received  from  the  publishing  firms  of  Lee  &  Shepard,  T.  Y.  Crowell  &  Co., 
and  Lamson,  Wolffe  &  Co.  In  the  reading  of  the  proofs  many  valuable  sug- 
gestions have  been  received  from  the  proof-readers  at  the  Riverside  Press  ;  but 
his  especial  thanks  are  due  his  friend,  Mr.  Francis  H.  Allen,  of  Boston,  whose 
watchful,  critical  supervision  has  been  exercised  upon  every  page  of  proof 
from  first  to  last.  The  debt  of  gratitude  which  the  writer  owes  him  for  this 
service  may  not  be  lightly  estimated.  Without  his  help,  the  book  would  have 
fallen  far  short  of  whatever  measure  of  excellence  it  may  now  be  judged  to 
attain.

nent historian  who  was  United  States 
minister  to  England,  1846-49,  and  to 
Prussia  and  Germany,  1867-74.  He 
was  inclined  to  view  history  from  the 
philosophic  standpoint,  and  his  political 
experiences  gave  him  insight  into  mo- 
tives. In  his  estimates  of  men  he  made 
smaller  allowance  for  the  relative  values 
of  the  testimony  of  difEerent  periods 
ihan  is  now  customary  among  histo- 
rians. He  paid  much  attention  to  style, 
but  sometimes  erred  in  regard  to  over- 
ornament.  His  manner,  however,  where 
not  laboured,  is  attractive  and  often  dra- 
matic. The  first  volume  of  The  His- 
tory of  the  United  States  appeared  in 
1834,  the  second  in  1837,  the  third  in 
1840,  and  the  succeeding  ones  1852-74. 
A  revised  edition  was  issued  in  1876, 
while  volumes  11  and  12  of  the  first 
edition  were  published  in  1882  as  The 
History  of  the  Formation  of  the  Con- 
stitution of  the  United  States.  The

must  be  considered  as  the  most  solid

Church,  Brooklyn,  1847-87.  He  was 
an  earnest,  large-hearted  man,  though 
not  a  deep  thinker,  and  his  cheerfid 
influence  upon  middle-class  American 
thought  was  very  extensive.  His  lit-

Bryant,  ■William  Cullen.  Ms.,  1794- 
1878.  A  poet  and  journalist  of  New 
York  city.  In  early  life  he  began  the 
practice  of  law,  but  soon  abandoned  it 
for  journalism  and,  removing  to  New 
York  in  1825,  became  in  1828  the  edi- 
tor of  tlie  Evening  Post,  with  which  he 
remained  associated  until  his  death. 
His  earliest  poem,  The  Embargo,  a  po- 
litical satire,  was  published  when  its 
author  was  but  thirtee^n,  but  the  first 
collection  of  his  poems  was  not  made 
until  1821,  the  famous  Thanatopsis  be- 
ing one  of  the  eight  which  the  volume 
comprised.  The  quantity  of  Bryant's 
verse  is  small,  the  quality  high,  but  not 
uniformly  so.  Its  tone  is  usually  calmly 
philosophic,  and  it  rarely  makes  any 
very  effective  appeal  to  the  sympa- 
thies, its  coldness  arising  partly  from 
lack  of  humour,  partly  from  natural  re- 
serve. The  Embargo ;  The  Spanish 
Revolution  ;  The  Ages  ;  The  Fountain 
of  Youth,  and  Other  Poems ;  The 
White-Footed  Deer;  The  Flood  of

Son  of   L   Mather,   infra.     A   famou^^^^^^^' ^^°^^d 

Congregational  clergyman  of  Boston, 
pastor  of  the  North  Church,  168;3-1728, 
and  his  father's  colleague  for  the 
greater  part  of  that  period.  He  was  a 
prolific  author,  publishing  nearly  four 
hundred  works,  large  and  small,  but  it 
is  upon  the  Magnalia  Christi  Americana 
that  his  reputation  rests.  Among  other 
works  are  Wonders  of  the  Invisible 
World ;  Christian  Philosopher ;  Psal- 
terium  Americanum ;  Manductio  •  ad 
Ministerium  ;  Memorable  Providences 
Relating  to  Witchcraft ;  Essays  to  Do 
Good ;  The  Armour  of  Christianity ; 
Batteries  Upon  the  Kingdom  of  the 
Devil ;  Death  made  Easie  and  Happy. 
His  style  is  disfigured  by  pedantry  and 
strained  analogies,  and  is  at  all  times 
far  removed  from  simplicity,  but  the 
author  is  nevertheless  easily  seen  to  be 
intensely  in  earnest  in  his  endeavours 
to  be  of  service  to  his  generation.  See

of  the  North  Church,  and  president  of

nearly  one  hundred  printed  works,  the 
most  noted  is  the  Remarkable  Provi- 
dences, which  was  entitled  by  its  author 
An  Essay  for  the  Recording  of  Illustri- 
ous Providences,  an  e£Port  to  prove  by 
induction  the  existence  of  mundane  su-

Harvard  in  1844,  and  in  1846  explored 
the  wilderness  beyond  the  Kooky 
Mountains,  The  Oregon  Trail  resulting 
from  this  journey.  For  many  years  he 
was  partially  blind,  but  as  far  as  possi- 
ble continued  the  historical  work  which 
he  was  meditating,  whUe  as  a  relaxa- 
tion he  devoted  nmch  time  to  horticul- 
ture and  published  a  Book  of  Roses  in 
1866.  The  work  of  his  life  was  the 
series  of  historical  narratives  called 
France  and  England  in  North  Ame- 
rica, begun  in  1864  and  completed  in 
1892.  The  work  includes,  in  their

wrote  Uncle  Tom's  Cabin  for  The  Na- 
tional Era  at  Wasliington,  in  which 
paper  it  appeared  serially  from  June, 
1851,  till  April,  1852.  It  was  then  pub- 
lished in  book  form  and  speedily  be- 
came world-famous,  five  hundred  thou- 
sand copies  being  sold  in  America  within 
five  years,  whUe  translations  of  it  ap- 
peared in  twenty  languages.  As  a  moral 
agent  few  books  have  been  of  so  much 
importance.  From  a  literary  point  of 
view  there  is  less  to  be  said  of  it;  and  The 
Minister's  Wooing,  a  novel  of  the  early 
days  of  the  republic,  must  rank  as  her 
finest  work.  The  qualitj'  of  her  other 
work  is  uneven,  its  highest  level  being  re- 
presented by  Oldtown  Folks  ;  The  Pearl 
of  Orr's  Island ;  Dred ;  The  Chimney 
Corner  ;  Religious  Poems,  among  which 
is  the  well-known  hymn,  "  Still,  still

[Power].  R.  I.,  1813-1878.  A  poet

tumn, her  finest  effort,  still  finds  an 
honoured  place  in  anthologies.  Hours

and  his  Critics.  A  complete  edition  of 
her  poems  appeared  in  1879.  See  Easy 
Chair  of  Harper^ s  Magazine,  September,

Whitman,"Walter  [commonly  "Walt]. 
N.  Y.,  1819-1892.  A  poet  regarding 
whose  claims  to  the  title  much  contro- 
versy has  raged.  During  the  Civil 
War  he  served  as  a  volunteer  nurse  in 
the   Washington  hospitals,   and,  after 


holding  a  government  clerkship  till 
1873,  removed  to  Camden,  New  Jersey, 
where  the  rest  of  his  life  was  passed. 
Leaves  of  Grass,  his  first  book,  appeared 
in  1855,  a  vigourous  protest  against  es- 
tablished rules  of  versification  in  its 
utter  formlessness.  Drum  Taps,  which 
included  the  now  famous  Lincoln  ele- 
gies, When  Lilacs  Last  in  the  Door- 
yard  Bloomed,  and  O  Captain,  My  Cap- 
tain, followed  in  1865.  The  republica- 
tion of  his  poems  in  England  in  1868 
aroused  instant  attention  there,  and  ex- 
cited extravagant  praise  in  some  quar- 
ters. His  rejection  of  rhym»  and  me- 
tre will  probably  always  repel  the  mass 
of  readers.  His  later  works  include, 
After  All  Not  to  Create  Only ;  A  Pas- 
sage to  India  ;  As  a  Strong  Bird  on 
Pinions  Free  ;  Two  Rivulets  ;  Novem-

Kipling,  Rudyard.     E.  I.,  1865 . 

A  distinguished  English  writer,  horn  in

ever, in  1889.  Later  he  married  the  sis- 
ter of  C.  W.  Balestier,  supra,  and  made 
his  home  in  Brattleboro',  Vermont.  The 
greater  part  of  his  work  in  prose  and 
verse  has  an  East  Indian  locale,  but 
some'  of  his  latest  stories  have  an  Ame- 
rican local  colouring.  As  a  writer  of  fic- 
tion his  rank  is  deservedly  high,  and  in 
The  Seven  Seas,  as  well  as  in  the  Re- 
cessional, published  after  the  Queen's 
Jubilee  of  1897,  he  has  abundantly  vin- 
dicated his  claim  to  the  name  of  poet. 
His  prose  comprises  Plain  Tales  from 
the  Hills;  Wee  Willie  Winkle,  and 
Other  Stories  ;  The  Light  that  Failed  ; 
Soldiers  Three ;  The  Naulahka  (with
